Workplace-Based Learning (WBL) Innovations
June 2018
Louisiana’s Jump Start Program
1) 81% of Louisiana’s students don’t go on to attain a four-year college/university degree . . . and historically they graduated high school not qualifying for the high-wage careers in the high-demand industry sectors that drive our state’s economy
2) Jump Start – a high school diploma pathway that provides students with the academic foundation, industry certifications and workplace soft skills to attain entry-level employment in high-demand industry sectors while continuing their education / training
3) Students must earn industry-based certifications (IBCs) to graduate – these IBCs must be industry-promulgated and industry-valued with documented “employability value”
4) Accountability Parity – accountability incentives that reward school districts and charter schools equally for high-value Jump Start outcomes and nationally-recognized academic outcomes (example: an advanced Skilled Trades, IT or Advanced Manufacturing IBC now earns districts and charter schools equal accountability points as a score of 5 on an AP test)
5) Dedicated funding sources for career and technical education (CTE) – because welding classes are a lot more expensive than English classes, Louisiana offers uncapped CTE funding resources tied to teacher development and investment in modern CTE facilities
19
6) Robust student choice – over 40 pathways created by industry, educators and government agencies
Challenges with WBL: Access and Equity
Early on during Jump Start implementation Louisiana realized the challenges in expanding WBL:
1) Unequal access – students in rural schools, students in alternative school programs and students with disabilities historically have had limited / no access to WBL
2) Implementation challenges – on-site WBL opportunities require significant start-up and on-going efforts by counselors and teachers, something not available at all high schools
3) Limited industry selection – on-site WBL programs can only offer opportunities in local industry sectors, which may not offer relevant career interests for many / most students
4) Transportation barriers – even in schools with robust WBL programs, low-income students often don’t have the transportation required to participate in WBL
5) Exacerbating the access / equity gap – apprenticeships (which are only possible in the minority of communities with large, engaged employers) are great for the students and companies involved, but exacerbate the gap between WBL “haves” and “have-nots”
Louisiana resolved to create WBL opportunities for all students
20
Approaches to Enhance WBL Access and Equity
1) Use technology – use on-line technology to enable students to engage with workplace experts in every industry sector they are interested in exploring (key: provide teachers with instructional resources so that every interaction reinforces key academic, communications and workplace skills)
2) Use the summer – Jump Start Summers programs must: a) provide students with on-site workplace-based learning (possible even in remote communities outside the normal school schedule); while enabling students to: b) attain IBCs; c) earn academic credits; and d) receive a summer wage
3) Train educators – offer in-person and online training on how to implement each type of WBL
The Universe of WBL Opportunities
1) Industry classroom speakers (in-person or virtual) – use curated / structured activities (like expert interviews)
2) Workplace field trips (including virtual visits)
3) Day-on-the-job / job shadowing
4) Job fairs
5) Internships
6) Simulated workplaces / school-based enterprises
7) Co-ops
8) Apprenticeships

Virginia Has Engaged in Multi-Year, Multi-Stakeholder Process
Are Virginia’s high school graduates well prepared for what comes next? What changes are needed to reach this goal?
25
• EXPAND the use of performance assessments and REDUCE the number of credits verified by standardized computer-based tests
• INCREASE internships and work-based learning experiences
• INCREASE career exposure, exploration, and planning
• EMPHASIZE the “5 Cs” (critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, communication, and citizenship)
